The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, led operatives to the community. During interrogation, the suspect said a herbalist identified simply as Sadiq gave the parts to him for safekeeping.

Kayode said, “Sadiq aka Ifa gave them to me. We intended to use them for money rituals for a client. A man brought the parts to Ifa too. I don’t know where the person lives. I have been an Alfa for 10 years, but I have never prepared any money ritual with human parts before. This is my first time.” Sadiq, who lives on Amje Igbeleyi Street, Alakuko, was not at home when the operatives visited his residence.Going by reports, Sadiq was arrested later in the day.
